The Famous "Spider Rock"...............7-17-09

Spider Rock rises out of Canyon de Chelly and rises 800 feet in the air............It is dramatic remnant of the plateau surrounding it. In Navajo myth, Spider Woman carried naughty children to the top of Spider Rock..............

The White House ruin that was in the previous pictures are canyons that sheltered prehistoric Pueblo Indians for more than 1,000 years. Its two steep walled canyons contain many ruins nestled below towering cliffs or perched on high ledges. There is a trail that you can actually walk down (2 mile round trip) to the White House ruin.
